Gradient = rise/run = -1/2
Thus:
y = -1/2x + c
Solve for c:
Pick a point for the values of y and x
(2,-2)
-2 = -1/2 (2) + c
c = -2 + 2
c = 0
Thus the equation is
y = -1/2x

Answer:
not sure if that is the Answers
The equation of a line is y = mx where m is the slope. That line passes through the origin. If you want it to pass through some point (a, b) you subtract the coordinates like this: y - b = m (x - a). That is the point-slope form, and you can rewrite it in other forms if it is convenient. You may do this with any point on the line.

Simplify 7x + 2y = -23
Solving
7x + 2y = -23
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
7x + 2y + -2y = -23 + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
7x + 0 = -23 + -2y
7x = -23 + -2y
Divide each side by '7'.
x = -3.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
Simplifying
x = -3.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
